Mobile Beacon Launches BeaconEDGE™ Wireless Business Internet for Nonprofits, Schools, and Libraries

New business-class 5G/LTE service delivers affordable primary and backup connectivity on America’s largest 5G network, purpose-built for mission-driven organizations

Lincoln, R.I. – June 3, 2026 – Mobile Beacon, a nonprofit provider of affordable high-speed internet for schools, libraries, and nonprofit organizations, today announced the launch of BeaconEDGE Wireless Business Internet, a new business-class 5G/LTE connectivity service designed to meet the primary and secondary networking needs of mission-driven organizations nationwide. Delivered over T‑Mobile’s nationwide 5G network, BeaconEDGE offers a flexible alternative to fiber infrastructure that is deployable in minutes, without construction or long-term capital commitments, and with unlimited 5G data for only $25 per month.

“For fifteen years, Mobile Beacon has delivered reliable, affordable mobile connectivity to the organizations that need it most,” said Katherine Primeau, Executive Director, Mobile Beacon. “With BeaconEDGE, we’re extending that same commitment to a new level of service, one that brings business-class performance, predictable pricing, and the flexibility to deploy anywhere a mission takes you. This new level of service comes with our same commitment to provide the best value at a fraction of the cost of commercial rates, a vital option in the face of reduced funding for connectivity services for schools, libraries, and nonprofits.”

BeaconEDGE addresses a persistent challenge for nonprofits, educational institutions, and public-serving organizations: the need for affordable, reliable, and high-capacity internet access. Unlike consumer or light-business wireless plans, BeaconEDGE is engineered to integrate seamlessly with existing enterprise infrastructure – including routers, firewalls, VLANs, and security systems – delivering the performance and control IT teams require. Mobile Beacon also supports customer-provided equipment through its BeaconSIM™ program. Organizations with existing hotspots, tablets, laptops, or compatible routers can activate 5G service with a BeaconSIM card.

“Mobile Beacon also seeks to help organizations do more with what they already have,” Primeau explained. “Instead of asking nonprofits, schools, and libraries to rip and replace their existing hotspots, tablets, laptops, and routers, we let them put that equipment, along with older devices that might be sitting on shelves, back to work and reduce capital expenses. With BeaconEDGE and our BeaconSIM program, they can scale connectivity on their own terms, extend reliable 5G performance across more locations, and stay focused on their mission.”

Flexible Plans for Diverse Connectivity Needs

BeaconEDGE launches with three service plans tailored to the range of operational needs across the nonprofit and education sectors, with static IP support available on all plans for applications requiring a consistent network address:
